warren county: Where's The Best Place To Live In Warren County? - 05/20/12 03:57 PM
Where's The Best Place To Live In Warren County? That may be one of the toughest questions we'll ever get asked!  Where's the best place to live in Warren County?  Hmmmm...... You could pick Mason.  Money Magazine had them at #24 on the 2011 Best Small Cities To Live.  Great schools.  Fantastic Community Center.  Walking and bike paths.  Parks.  Athletic facilities specializing in gymnastics and indoor soccer.  Convenient commute to Cincinnati.  Homes from below $100,000 to above a million.  Mason would be a great choice. Or you could pick Springboro.  #42 in the U.S. on that same Money Magazine list.  Great … (4 comments)

warren county: Can I Low Ball Offer A Warren County Foreclosure? - 04/08/12 05:49 PM
Can I Low Ball Offer A Warren County Foreclosure? Sure you can!  All the magazines tell you to do it.  The newspaper articles tell you to do it.  That guy with the infomercial at 3 a.m. says to do it.  Your buddy at the bar tells you to do it too. But you know who's not going to tell you to do it?  Us, your Warren County REALTORS® who make a living giving Warren County home buyers and sellers advice.  All those other sources, they work on hearsay and rarely ever put signature to paper and their reputation on the line. … (21 comments)

warren county: Has Spring Sprung Early in The Warren County Real Estate Market? - 02/18/12 06:14 AM
Has Spring Sprung Early in The Warren County Real Estate Market? We all know it's been a bizarre winter, extraordinarily mild....sorry Duke Energy, but we're enjoying keeping that extra money in our pocket this year!  And the warmer weather seems to be spreading to additional heat in the Warren County real estate market.  There's strong evidence that more buyers are out looking than typical for this normally chilly time of the year for temperatures AND the real estate market. Why do we say the market is stronger?  Our personal experience is part of it:  four of our listings are getting showings … (12 comments)

warren county: How Can I Save Money On Cincinnati Area Events, Services and Dining? - 12/14/11 09:10 AM
How Can I Save Money On Cincinnati Area Events, Services and Dining? One of the MANY perks of living in Warren County is access to everything Warren County offers AND everything Cincinnati offers!  Tons of entertainment choices, a restaurant for every taste, and if you're looking for a service provider, chances are someone is just a phone call away. But sometimes those prices....whoa!  "I'd LOVE to see the Cincinnati Ballet perform The Nutcracker, but at $40 a ticket minimum it's just not in my budget!  And I'd love to try out that downtown restaurant, but $50 a person.....I just don't have … (18 comments)

So you're buying or selling a Warren County home?  Then stand by for LOTS of unsolicited advice!  As soon as you mention that you're involved in this huge endeavor, you're going to get lots of "help"!  MOST of those sources of advice may just be steering you down the wrong path and not even realizing it. Here's a partial list of people that shouldn't know more about LOCAL real estate than your trusted REALTOR®:
The national media.  They don't know JACK about our local market.  They care about … (113 comments)

warren county: Warren County Ohio Foreclosure Update: Scheduled Sheriff's Sales through 2/13/2012 - 12/10/11 09:03 AM
Warren County Ohio Foreclosure Update: Scheduled Sheriff's Sales through 2/13/2012
The latest numbers show a significant INCREASE in foreclosures for Warren County.  With four additional weeks added, the range of approximately 30 foreclosures per week spiked to 50 per week.  However, this increase may be deceptive.  Due to holiday schedules, there have been three recent weeks with NO foreclosures.  If you assume the previously typical 30 per week, that's approximately 90 deferred foreclosures.  Spread those 90 over four weeks you get an extra 22 homes to add, which would explain the 50 per week.  However, if the upcoming weeks continue … (29 comments)

Warren County Ohio Foreclosure Update: Scheduled Sheriff's Sales through 1/9/2012
 The latest numbers continue to demonstrate a stable foreclosure market for Warren County.  With four additional weeks added, there is a range of 21-31 per weekly scheduled auction, and the high of 31 included four builder foreclosures. The GOOD NEWS is there wasn't a spike of nearly 100 foreclosures just before Christmas like there was in 2010!  There continued to be some foreclosures stopped either due to the owners getting current on payments or due to successful sales prior to foreclosure.  We LOVE to see homeowners stop foreclosure proceedings and … (9 comments)

warren county: City or Country? You Can Enjoy Both From Warren County Ohio! - 08/12/10 08:36 AM
We know there's much to be said for city life if that's your cup of chai!  Culture, dining, entertainment, unique things that can only be supported when you've got mass quantities of humans packed together! 
For us, we prefer the hybrid life that our area provides.  We're close to Cincinnati or Dayton, a 30 to 40 minute car trip and we're downtown to either.  BUT, we're far enough away that we can enjoy the room that comes with living in the country.  You get the best of both worlds, with the quick access to the city, but the peacefulness of … (10 comments)

warren county: Half Empty? Half Full? Both? - 07/22/10 01:02 PM
The Cincinnati area home market has mixed signals! 
Yesterday the Cincinnati Enquirer reported that unemployment in our 15 county area for June hit 10.0%, up from 9.7% in May.  Despite this statistic, employers added 3,900 jobs!  The rate increased the unemployed/seeking work category increased by 4,700, illustrating it is key to have the right job skills!  The cuts may also be due to companies trying to hit their June fiscal goals.  Overall, a RED arrow! On the other hand, the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors reported today that June sales were up 7.63% vs. June 2009 with an average price … (2 comments)

warren county: Did You Know There are TWO MLS for Warren County Ohio? - 07/17/10 10:41 AM
Dear Home Seller,
You've chosen to live in a fantastic area!  Some GREAT school systems, tons of entertainment activities, a restaurant for every taste, easy access to both Cincinnati and Dayton.  So many pluses, without the hassle of the cities!
It's that easy access to both cities that should help you decide who your listing agent should be.
Did you know that there is an MLS (Multiple Listing System) for Cincinnati, and a separate one for Dayton?
Our area is served by agents who primarily work Dayton, others who only work from Cincinnati, and others such as The Liz Spear … (0 comments)

warren county: The Forecast is Foggy! - 07/14/10 11:54 AM
The road ahead is foggy, the crystal ball is full of mud, no one knows for sure what the real estate market is going to do!
For every voice that says things are getting better, someone else will counter with more doomsaying!  Anyone who tells you they know FOR SURE is probably smoking something besides a cigar!  Real estate is so local, that listening to the national voices is a waste of time except for knowing the big picture items regarding taxes, credits and the like.  Within a town, the outlook can vary just within a few streets of each other.  … (6 comments)

warren county: Warren County Ohio Homeowners Aren't The Only Defaulters - 07/06/10 06:19 PM
Everyone hears all the news about homeowners who are underwater in their loans and facing foreclosure.
That's easy to confirm at the Warren County Sheriff's Sale site: http://www.wcsooh.org/search/slsgrid.asp
There are literally hundreds of homes listed for foreclosure within the next two months, and certainly more to follow as unemployment continues to be near 10% in the area.
But according to the Cincinnati Enquirer's published article today "Unfinished subdivisions in default", the problem isn't limited to private homeowners.  There are currently 10 subdivisions in Warren County in default, with scheduled work not completed by the required dates.  For residents of the developments, … (2 comments)

warren county: They Burned The American Flag This Week - 07/02/10 06:20 AM
 
They burned the American Flag this week, but there were no protestors, no chants, no one angry at the state of our country, but instead a solemn lesson in respect.  The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Thursday that Boy Scout Troop 641 conducted the annual flag decommissioning ceremony this week at Spring Grove Cemetery.  The Scouts tended a ceremonial fire of ash and oak, and slowly burned the worn, faded flags with the dignity that they deserved until all 300 flags had been reduced to ash.  I’d like to commend these Scouts for this lesson in citizenship to all of us.
